begin from within

It’s not all about the #PSL. Pumpkin spice can make plenty of other edibles delicious, too!

Sugar and spice and everything… pumpkin. It’s no secret that the moment cooler temperatures arrive, the pumpkin craze begins (and Cinderella thought it was a bad thing when her carriage turned into a pumpkin!). The pumpkin spice latte (aka #PSL) is clearly the belle of the pumpkin ball, but it’s also inspired everything from Pumpkin Spice Oreos to pumpkin spice condoms (which sadly aren’t actually coming to a store near you).

Whether you’re a PSL fanatic or fall-flavor hater, adding spice makes (most) recipes taste delicious. It doesn’t hurt that pumpkin is loaded with antioxidants and disease-fighting vitamins. That’s why we rounded up a list of nine amazing (and healthy!) pumpkin spice recipes that are way more inventive than the infamous Starbucks drink.

3. Protein–Packed Spiced Oats in a Jar
Sure, strolling the streets with a piping hot PSL may be the ideal way to spend Saturday. But why settle for a to-go cup of sugar when you can stuff a mason jar with nutritious,seasonal oats? It’s a healthier, cheaper, and (soon-to-be) way trendier option. Go ahead, take the credit when #PSLmasonjars take over your Instagram feed.

4. Pumpkin-Spiced Almond ButterNut butter… so hot right now. What’s even hotter: pumpkin-spiced nut butter. A touch of pumpkin puree, drip of maple syrup, and blend of spices turn any jar of almond butter into a seasonal dip that pairs great with any fruit, cracker, or finger. Feel free to mix up the nut butter too! (We love the mix with cashew butter.)

5. Spiced Pumpkin Energy Bars
Though it may seem easier to opt for a KIND bar, these DIY energy bites are a much healthier option. Made with omega-rich ingredients like coconut and flaxseed, they’re both good for the heart andbrain. Can any packaged energy bar say that? (OK maybe, but do they really mean it? Debatable.)

6. Pumpkin Pie Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Have your pumpkin pie and eat the seeds too. Or skip the pie and have these tasty seeds instead! With cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and stevia, this snack provides the best of both worlds: pie flavor and health benefits.

7. Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Spiced Smoothie
This recipe incorporates the best parts of a PSL and blends them into a healthy smoothie. You can even turn it into a protein shake by subbing chocolate protein powder for the cocoa powder – just make sure to use a type that’s less sweet, like hemp protein powder. (Lattes everywhere just got served.)

9. Pumpkin Spice Baked Apples
The arrival of fall ushers in all things apple: apple picking, apple cider, apple pie… you get the idea. This dessert takes the two fall staples and bakes them into one healthy dessert that’s full of vitamins and fiber. It also only has five ingredients, making it easy to prepare.
